What's a good fast car with decent gas mileage? I only get 19-20 in mine and I'm looking for 25+. I made another post and they thought it was a joke that I wanted to get an 04 mini cooper s or a dodge caliber. I like the looks of both and they get 6more mpg at least more than the Z. DFW opinions?

Why you want a fast car when you have a Z

The DD I have is a corolla..... great gas, comfy, and cheap.
Right Chris (fith) ? And with rims...... looks pretty good, right Chris

I'm going to be driving back and forth between dfw and austin a couple times a month for the next few years so I need better gas mileage than the 19-20mpg on my Z =/ I'll miss it though for sure.

Nissan Altima SE-R is damn quick too and gets a little better gas mileage. Nicely equipped as well

Tru dat Jody ! Corolla for DD = WIN !

The Nismo Z besides cosmetic looking has additional ( stiffer ) suspension and also a higher rev limiter....7200 rpm ???? not sure of any other minor details.

Where and what time?



Hey everyone just wanted to give the dfw lounge first dibs on the nismo. I am going to put up an add tomorrow selling my nismo. Only 25k miles and car looks and runs good. 287 on mustang dyno. All mods tires and extras will go with the car. Not looking to part out unless someone who is buying the car doesn't want something. Only selling because I want a 300zx dyno queen

Just thought I would toss a heads up.
